The Santa Barbara Knitting Studio
Established 1982
Welcome to the Santa Barbara Knitting Studio
A hand knitting and crochet studio featuring
The finest Hand Knitting Yarns, Patterns, Kits, Garments and More
Trish Designs patterns are innovative, unique and always fun to do. The patterns are expertly written in an easy-to-follow manner with step-by-step instructions. They include color pictures, schematics with all pertinent measurements, charts where applicable and written row-by-row stitch pattern instructions. Each pattern is in a clear plastic sheet protector which fits easily into a three-ring binder.
Most of the patterns are written generically with specific information as to the yarns used in the model. Others are written for specific yarns. All the patterns include complete materials information, including all yardage requirements and stockinette stitch gauges in addition to pattern stitch gauges, making it easy to substitute any yarn. They also include any special techniques used in the construction of the design.
Kits include complete pattern with color picture and ample yarn for the size specified. All yarn is ready to knit, either in the original skein or pre-wound into center-pull balls. If many colors are used, a key with actual yarn samples is also included.
If a kit is not shown for a particular item, chances are the yarn is available here. Just send an e-mail with your request and I’ll get back to you quickly.
And, if you run into problems, Trish is available to help via phone or e-mail.
Trish, the owner of The Santa Barbara Knitting Studio and an avid knitter since the age of four, has been designing knitting and crocheting patterns as Trish Designs since 1982.
